Truly I think you are right concerning the teacher part... He just merge from no where and started demanding in the movie...

Still yet, it's still a movie to watch out for .

TO KILL A MONKEY: Great Film, But I Have Reservations. After all the hype and well deserved applause for "To Kill a Monkey", I still have some reservations. Yes, the movie was great, from the acting to the cinematography, but certain aspects of the storyline lost touch with reality.

First off, the character "Teacher" was unnecessary. He contributed nothing meaningful to the plot. The whole fight between Teacher and Oboz felt forced, especially Efe’s involvement. Efe had no connection to Teacher, yet the script tried to insert him into a conflict that wasn’t his. That angle was weak.

Secondly, Efe was portrayed as a tech expert and developer, yet he came off as dull. How can someone with the skills to build such a powerful app be that broke and clueless? No real life developer with that level of innovation would still be that hungry and wrecked.

Thirdly, Oboz didn’t embody the traits of a real mafia boss. He bragged too much, talked loosely, and chased women without class. True underworld leaders move in silence, protect their presence, and don’t get disrespected by women like Amanda in front of their boys.

Letting Efe into the inner circle without proper initiation (vetting) only confirmed how unserious Oboz was. Efe asking Oboz, who owned the structure, for 50% just so he could sit back and collect money was peak greed and entitlement. That was an obvious red flag that Oboz was too blind to see, simply because he himself is an idiot.

Efe’s wife, Nosa, in my opinion, did nothing wrong. Yes, she messed up and lost herself when the illegal money finally came, but she wasn’t the problem, Efe was. He lacked principles and backbone. A woman cannot push a man of integrity into crime. And let’s be honest, 90% of women would do exactly what Nosa did if they saw that opportunity. Her reaction was predictable; Efe’s weakness was the real problem.

Lest I forget, they didn’t condemn the crime in the movie, they ended it like it was just another way to make it. That kind of ending sends a subtle message that crime is a normal or valid route to wealth. And honestly, as much as that’s a flawed message, it also reflects reality. Many of the richest people in the world today didn't exactly take the clean path to success. Still, a film with this kind of reach should’ve done more to spark reflection, not validation.

So while To Kill a Monkey was a great production, the character arcs and certain plot decisions needed more realism and depth. These small flaws kept it from being a truly unforgettable masterpiece.

If I should rate the movie, I would say 7/10, not because it wasn't entertaining, but because certain parts lacked depth, realism, and proper character development.

I think you lost touch with the movie. You actually did not even understand the movie before rushing to discredit the movie.
The movie is just perfect.

Paulscholari:
I believe they did their research, having that character is necessary and important if you know how this things really work.

Moreso to the @op
Oboz is just a young boss with money and dealings so he will behave recklessly just like how all these yahoo boys behave.

Efe is what I see that his off, maybe it's just the character description abi the original charisma of the guy no reach the MWM aura wey ẹ suppose display.

MWM - Men With Money.
